College writing assignment reaches children in Uganda.

College is a place where the potential leaders of tomorrow get to shine, and this is exactly what happened to 23 students at the Miami Dade College. For many of these students, a writing assignment has led to a major life accomplishment as they have now taken on the role of college students becoming authors.This feat was accomplished as the students participated in a project being run by a non-profit organization called The Memory Project.

The mission of this particular program is to bring hope to children in Uganda who are living in difficult situations as they try to flee slavery.While the students experienced many harsh criticisms and sleepless nights as they prepared the books, they expressed feelings of pride and fulfillment at their accomplishments.
